I so much don't want to answer this mate,
And there is a but coming along any time now........
Hi Martin,
......but, whilst it is true we do need some carbs, if you need control of whichever type or condition, it's depends on your intolerance to those carbs.
For example, type one need carbs, how many is debatable.
Type two need to reduce the amount of carbs eaten. Debatable
Prediabetics need to cut back on carbs. Debatable
Type 3c, I'm not going there!
If you have Hypoglycaemia, or other metabolic conditions the carbs should be severely cut back because our pancreas works fine!
I could go on but these are a few examples.
If a dietician insisted I eat carbs, as been suggested to me, I would be dead from hyperinsulinaemia and severe symptoms.
One size does not fit all, and this is why, certain information should be treated with caution about how we are treated.
We agree about many things but this can be so confusing to newbies, when offering advice about carbs.
Hope I've tried to explain it without sounding like the low carb police!!
